US President, Donald Trump has sacked the White House
communications director Anthony Scaramucci after fewer than 10 days in the
post.
The former Wall Street financier had drawn criticism after
calling a reporter to give a profanity-laced tirade against his colleagues.
Mr Trump's chief of staff Reince Priebus and spokesman Sean
Spicer both left their posts with his appointment.
The decision was made by Mr Trump's new chief of staff, Gen
John Kelly, who was sworn in on Monday.
The president was also unhappy with Mr Scaramucci's
performance, the White House confirmed.
Mr Trump's spokeswoman, Sarah Sanders, said the president
thought Mr Scaramucci's comments to the reporter "were inappropriate for a
person in that position".
He has not been moved to another White House role, she
added.
Mr Trump had tweeted in the morning about job and wage
figures, and insisted there is "No WH chaos", referring to reports
about fighting among White House staff.
